On Windows, a host import of shared guest memory goes through a
read-write alias from WindowsMappings::MapAlias. The alias was a single
MapViewOfFile3 of one section, so MapAlias threw when the views of the
range were not one contiguous run of that section. One
sceKernelMapDirectMemory over two adjacent direct memory allocations
gives such a range, as each allocation has its own section, and so do
pages remapped in place to another physical order.
Such ranges are now aliased run by run: a placeholder reservation is
split at each run of consecutive pages of one section, and each run
maps that section at its offset. UnmapAlias unmaps every run and forgets
the alias even when one unmap fails. A contiguous range keeps the single
view, and a range with a page that is not a shared view is still
refused.
guest_memory maps two adjacent direct memory allocations of two pages
and one page with one call, and two pages in reverse physical order.
It reads and writes every page through the alias. The first test also
checks that the alias has one view per run and that unmapping it frees
its pages. A range whose second page is flexible memory is still
refused.

(cherry picked from commit fc6868d8b6fedd0a43987909cadef618f16ada4b)
The libc.prx heap that Animal Well (PPSA22520 01.000.011, SDK 9.04)
bundles maps each arena with sceKernelMapFlexibleMemory(&addr, len, 3,
0x8000). It threw "Unsupported memory mapping flags 0x8000" before the
first frame. The flag is ignored as sceKernelMapNamedFlexibleMemoryInternal
already does; other unknown flags still throw.
Writes into shared (direct) guest memory on Windows are caught by write
protecting each 16 KiB view and taking the fault. The fault reopened
and invalidated the whole view, so a collect reported all four 4 KiB
pages of a view whenever any byte of it was written, including pages
nobody wrote. A GPU surface that ends or starts inside such a view
then had its edge pages taken for CPU writes whenever the title wrote
the memory next to it, and the storage write-back kept the guest's
stale bytes there instead of the GPU's results.
Each view now keeps a write generation, a seen generation and the
write protection per 4 KiB page. A fault invalidates and reopens only
its page, a host write only the pages it covers, and a collect reports
and re-arms only the pages it covers. VirtualProtect is called once
per contiguous run of pages whose protection changes, so arming or
pinning a view takes one call when those pages are contiguous and two
when they are not. A guest store that fills a whole view takes up to
four faults instead of one.
A collect does not settle a page that it cannot write protect because
a host write is open on one of the page's views; it reports the page
again until a collect can arm it. main settled such a page and relied
on the end of the host write invalidating the whole view, so a guest
store into it during the host write was reported only after the host
write ended. With only the written pages invalidated there, the store
would not be reported at all.
A collect that runs out of room partway through a view now settles the
pages it already reported there and nothing after them; before, it
settled none of them and reported them again at the next collect.
CheckSharedWritePages writes one byte into the second 4 KiB page of a
view and requires a collect of the view's last two pages to report
nothing; main reports both. It also checks a store across two pages
and a file read into one page. CheckSharedWritesDuringHostWrite stores
into a fault-opened page of a view after a collect while a host write
is open on another page of it, and requires every collect of the view
and of its alias to report that page until the host write has ended.
agc_shared_write_partial_collect resets the two interior pages of a
view after writes to all four and requires the outer two to stay
pending. The existing shared-memory checks in guest_memory,
agc_shared_write_partial_collect and guest_socket_host_write (the
recvfrom sender outputs) now expect the pages written instead of the
whole view.

PPSA30601 (Resonance) stops at the throwing stub. The four int* arguments follow
OpenOrbis' libkernel.h, the Orbital type database and SharpProspero; the values
follow KytyPS5 (2048 entries of 2 MiB per side) without its accounting of used
entries, listed in TechnicalDebt.md. A null pointer returns EFAULT.

Direct memory can already be mapped more than once, so there is no
aliasing to enable and the call returns 0. ProsperoEden (PPSA99008)
imports it and calls it before mapping the same direct memory again.

The Windows path from #3788 changed the protection of any committed private host region outside the guest registry, including a range crossing a guest stack's lower bound. Ranges inside a live guest thread stack keep the path from #2982.
Thread stacks are host-private memory; the call threw instead of setting the native protection.

munmap and sceKernelMunmap over a range in which no page is mapped
failed: munmap returned EINVAL and sceKernelMunmap let the registry's
exception escape. Both now return 0. The console returns 0 for
sceKernelMunmap of a range it just unmapped and of a never-mapped
address, and EINVAL only for a zero length, as measured by prosper's
console oracle (kernelx.golden.tsv, kx_fmem_unmap_again,
kx_fmem_munmap_unmapped).
The other half of #3196, a range with an unmapped page in the middle, is
already fixed on main by 04ed61957; the test covers both.

sceKernelAvailableFlexibleMemorySize and the flexible maps counted only
explicit flexible mappings, so the full 448 MiB was reported while the
title's executable and modules were loaded. A title that derives its code
and data size from the budget minus the available size got an unsigned
underflow.
The segments of the main executable and of every .guest.prx module that
the title's ELF gives permissions now count, rounded to 16 KiB pages, as
shadPS4 maps every non-system module segment as flexible memory. The
relinker's own blocks and the host system libraries do not count. The
charge ends when a module is unloaded.

One 4-page direct mapping loses its second page to munmap, then pages
1-2 are mapped fixed. The range starts in the hole; before the fix the
unmap of the overlap threw "guest protection or unmap range has a
hole". The pages around it keep their data.

The registry calls an observer on the mapping thread, after the registry
lock is released, with the ranges a kernel mapping gave GPU access:
direct and flexible maps with it, and fixed remaps with it over a
registered range (a reservation). The mutation looks them up while it
still holds the lock and hands them over weakly, with the registry
generation it ended at, so the observer does not keep a range alive.
The driver imports those ranges on its current device, so an
address-based build finds the import instead of pinning the memory on
the queue that first uses it. A range that gains GPU access through
sceKernelMprotect, and AnyPS5's own libc heap, are still imported on
first use.
The import at map does not reconcile the other imports with the
registry, so its cost does not grow with the number of imports. It skips
a range that is gone, and any range when the imports were reconciled
with a newer registry since; the next lookup imports those as before.
It installs the pin waiter as the other import paths do, so unmapping a
range imported at map retires its import. The live import bytes are kept as a
running total instead of being summed over every import. Once the import
table belongs to the current device the import takes only the table's
lock; the first import on a device (which runs the write-watch probe)
and a device that was just replaced go through the GPU lock. Clearing
the observer waits for calls already running.

A map without MAP_FIXED whose hint lies wholly inside a range still
reserved by sceKernelReserveVirtualRange is placed at the hint, as a fixed
map into the reservation would be. Hints outside reservations and ranges
that are partly mapped keep their hint behaviour. The reservation is
checked under the registry mutation, so it cannot be released and its
address reused between the check and the map (MarcZX100, #2687).

Without MAP_FIXED the address is a hint, as for FreeBSD's mmap: the reservation goes at the hint when that range is free, else at the first free range above it. The hint was dropped, so every hinted reservation landed at the lowest free address.
RetroArch (PPSA99169) reserves its cores' direct-memory heap near 0x2000000000 outside the GPU window (0x200000000-0x300000000) and refuses a range inside it; with every reservation at 0x200400000 the heap was never made, and Dolphin's first aligned allocation returned null.

The Windows sceKernelPread stopped going through pread when it learned to
return errors, and with it lost the random device read, so a pread on
/dev/urandom reached ReadFile on a handle that is not a disk and failed
with ESPIPE. Read random devices first, as the Linux path does.
A pread into a read-only guest mapping now returns EFAULT instead of
throwing, matching Linux and the AIO read beside it, so the Windows
guest memory test checks for that return.
CheckUnmappedArenaRangeStaysReserved uses mmap, PROT_READ, PROT_WRITE,
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE and EEXIST directly, so the Windows build fails to compile it.
The probe exists to show that an unmapped arena range still rejects a hostile
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE mapping, which is Linux-specific behaviour.
Guard the function and its call site with __linux__. The other tests in the file
compile on both platforms.
The arena constructor was Windows-only, so on Linux Available() was false: the guest heap fell back to the host allocator and direct memory landed wherever the kernel pleased. Titles that require a low virtual address rejected the mapping and re-issued the identical request, which surfaced as a start-up assert inside their own allocator.
Seed the window from the mappings that already exist instead of reserving it up front, because a PROT_NONE reservation of the whole range starves the kernel's own top-down mmap, which picks addresses just below the stack inside that range. Commit, reset and set-protection become portable so the arena owns its used ranges on both platforms, and fixed mappings are checked against the arena's used ranges rather than against EEXIST from a reservation.
The window-placement and no-overwrite checks in guest_memory were compiled only for Windows; they now run on Linux too, and the window check fails without this change.
Fixes#692
The registry records whether a range was mapped or protected with GPU
access (0x10/0x20), and an address-based build leaves out ranges without
it, as the console's GPU page tables do. The main image is registered
without GPU access; the title's own mprotect with GPU bits adds it.

Move the image unregistration out of the Module destructor into
dlclose_nid_postfix. It runs while the handle is still registered, so a
failure (the image stays leased by GPU work) propagates to the caller and
leaves the module loaded and usable. Images shared by another open
handle stay registered until the last handle closes.
guest_memory now checks that dlclose under a held lease throws and keeps
the module, its symbols and its protection.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A .guest.prx image registered by sceKernelMprotect stayed in the guest
allocation registry after dlclose freed it, so its dead ranges blocked
later mappings at that address and could reach GPU builds.
The Windows module destructor now unregisters the image before
FreeLibrary. Unregistering waits for outstanding leases on the image like
unmap and protect do; if the wait fails the module stays loaded.
